Dr. Tom Davis is a freelancer based in St. Louis, Missouri. A board-certified family physician, he joined a three-doctor single-specialty group right out of residency and practiced in the same small town in rural Missouri for twenty years.
Using one of the first total-risk Medicare Advantage plans in the country, he grew his practice over 16 years into a regional health system. Then he merged with a competitor in 2012 for $130,000,000.
He discovered that he and corporate medicine were not a good fit. So, he quit to become a freelancer and author. He now advises physicians and groups on how to succeed under Medicare Advantage.
He also serves as an expert witness on medical malpractice and healthcare fraud, mentors young clinicians on their contract negotiations, and has written two books. The most recent, Telemedicine Confidential - Keeping Your Family Safe, will be released on September 1st, 2018.
I recommend you listen to the entire interview. The insights were awesome and kept on coming. We talked about developing a new career, writing and publishing a book, creating an online presence, and much more.
Near the end of our conversation, he provided valuable advice about where telemedicine is going. And he described how you can use it as a bridge between your clinical and nonclinical careers.
Tom describes in great detail how he created a new career for himself. His insights are inspirational and actionable.
